Liberal Democrats are calling for an extra £1 million to be spent on supporting Norfolk's children.

As part of their budget proposals for Norfolk County Council, Liberal Democrat councillors want to increase funding for front-line support for families through the new 'Early Childhood and Family Service'. This would reverse a cut that was pushed through by Conservative councillors in January.

On November 15, Eaton Councillor James Wright will brave the elements to take part in the 2018 Benjamin Foundation Sleep Out at Carrow Road.

This is the 4th time the Benjamin Foundation have held this fundraising Sleep Out, and James has taken part since the beginning.

James was prompted to campaign to raise awareness of issues around homelessness and rough sleeping after seeing the short film - Homeless and Rough Sleeping in Norwich - back in 2012. The film contained a young girl talking about her experiences of rough sleeping, and only a couple of years previously she was a student at the school where James worked.

This annual event provides a great opportunity for LD members from all over Norfolk to come together to debate local issues etc. Our County Cllrs will be leading sessions focusing on the key policy areas of Adult Social Care, Education and Children's Services. Norman Lamb MP will be speaking.

Many members of SNLD are already helping this non-party/all party campaign by delivering PV leaflets in their area. If you are concerned about the frightening potential impact of Brexit, and want to have a chance of voting on the final outcome, you might like to help too?

Mobile libraries provide a place for rural or remote communities to gather. People enjoy coming together to meet. Mobile libraries offer a chance for a community to connect with each other, share stories, and be a social gathering place. This is especially important in rural, isolated places where the opportunity to connect with others is limited.

Councillors spent August talking with residents, EVRA and officers about the proposals for Greenways and Church Lane, given that they were so out of proportion to what was needed. One resident described the proposed scheme as 'a sledgehammer to crack a nut'.
